Bergen County beekeeping, honey, and humane swarm help
Bee care with a little wonder built in.
From a surprise swarm to a first taste of local honey, Bergen Bee Company helps neighbors understand bees, care for healthy hives, and enjoy more of the good they bring.
What we do
Helping Bergen County live a little more happily alongside bees.
Bees are part of the local landscape in Bergen County, New Jersey, but most people only need a clear answer at the right moment: Is this a honey bee? Is the swarm dangerous? Can a property support a hive? What actually helps pollinators here?
We keep the guidance plain, the handling humane, and the work rooted in local conditions across Bergen County.
Every bee story starts somewhere.
From a honey bee cluster on a branch to a full pollinator education session, the work starts with good identification and calm next steps.
Local Honey
Small-batch local honey from colony work in Montvale and abroad, connected to the season, forage, and care behind every harvest.
Honey Bee Education
Clear talks and hands-on learning for regional schools, clubs, community groups, families, and corporations that want to learn more about bees and beekeeping.

Swarm response
Found a bee cluster?
Keep your distance. Send a photo and location, and we will help identify the safest next step.
Send these if it is safe
- A clear photo
- The street, town, landmark, or GPS location
- Where the cluster is resting
First, identify what you are seeing.
Not every bee-looking insect is a honey bee. Wasps, yellowjackets, hornets, carpenter bees, and bumble bees need different handling. If it is safe, a clear photo is the best place to begin.
A resting swarm may move on by itself.
A cluster on a branch, fence, mailbox, or other open surface may only be pausing while scout bees search for a new home. Some swarms need relocation; others simply need time and space.
Bees inside a wall or structure are a different situation.
An established colony inside a wall or structure is not the same as an exposed swarm. Location, access, weather, nearby activity, and how long the bees have been present all affect the right response.
Send the details before anyone disturbs them.
We help residents and property owners throughout Bergen County understand what they have and what to do, including situational awareness and relocation guidance.

How can we help?
Use swarm mode for a bee cluster or location-specific concern. Use general inquiry for honey, hive hosting, education, or anything else.
